Embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
A multimedia transmission system 100 is disclosed according to some embodiments of the present application. Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the system 100. As shown in fig. 1, the system 100 includes three levels of transmission nodes and a plurality of initial acquisition devices, and if the multimedia transmission system 100 is applied to transmission of audio and video of IPC or NVR in a video surveillance network, the transmission nodes are associated with administrative areas. For example, the primary transmission node a1 is a provincial transmission node, the secondary transmission nodes B1 and B2 are city transmission nodes, the tertiary transmission nodes C1-C4 are county transmission nodes, and a plurality of initial acquisition devices P11, P12, P21, and the like are managed under each county transmission node.
It is to be understood that although the multimedia transmission system 100 in fig. 1 only shows three levels of transmission nodes, and only one level a1, two level B1 and B2, and four level three transmission nodes C1-C4 are shown, in other embodiments, in the multimedia transmission system, the number of levels of transmission nodes and the number of transmission nodes per level may be set according to actual needs, for example, more than three levels of transmission nodes may be set, and a plurality of level one transmission nodes, such as a2, A3, … …, An, any number of level two transmission nodes may be set under each level one transmission node, any number of level three transmission nodes may be set under the level two transmission nodes, any number of level four transmission nodes may be set under the level three transmission nodes, and so on. In addition, the number of the initial acquisition devices connected to the lowest level transport node in the multimedia transmission system 100 may also be set according to actual needs, and is not limited herein.
Furthermore, it is understood that the transmission nodes in the multimedia transmission system 100 are merely divided according to functions, and in an actual setting, different nodes may be disposed on different physical devices, and may also be disposed on the same physical device, for example, the physical device may be a server, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a wearable device, a head-mounted display, a mobile email device, a portable game console, a portable music player, a reader device, a television with one or more processors embedded or coupled therein, or other electronic devices capable of accessing a network. For example, in some embodiments, the transmission node is a proxy server, the proxy server has a video storage and forwarding function, and according to the situation, all or part of the transmitted multimedia information such as audio and video can be set by each transmission node, and the storage duration is set.
The initial acquisition device can be a network video recorder NVR or a network camera IPC. It is to be understood that, in other embodiments, the transmission node of the present application is not necessarily a proxy server, and may be any computing device with multimedia storage and forwarding functions, which is not limited herein. The initial acquisition device may also be not limited to NVR or IPC, and may be any user terminal capable of acquiring multimedia information, such as a camera, or a cloud server storing the multimedia information of the user.
The following describes a multimedia-on-demand implementation of the multimedia transmission system 100, according to some embodiments of the present application.
For the video-on-demand request of the user, for example, a certain user requests to play the video and audio in the time period t1-t2 of a certain initial acquisition device (such as P22) in the multimedia transmission system 100 through a user terminal, the transmission request sent by the user terminal may indicate the requested video information, for example, the video information may include identification information of the requested initial acquisition device, identification information of each transmission node in the corresponding transmission path, and a time period of the requested video for transmission, specifically, may include an identification of P22 and a time period t1-t2 of the requested video for transmission, and correspond to identifications of transmission nodes a1, B1, and C2 in the transmission path of the initial acquisition device P22. Alternatively, the video information may include names of administrative areas corresponding to the transmission nodes and time periods of videos requested to be transmitted, for example, the video information may include: IPC/NVR P22, t1-t2 time slot of prefecture C2 under city B2, province a 1. It can be understood that the video request may not include the transmission path information, but only include the information of the initial acquisition device, and each transmission node stores the transmission path corresponding to each initial acquisition device, and after receiving the transmission request, the transmission node determines the corresponding transmission path according to the stored information.
After receiving the transmission request of the user terminal, the transmission request is sent to the transmission node of the administrative area. For example, if the user terminal is located in province a1, the transmission request is sent to transmission node a1, if the user terminal is located in city B1, the transmission request is sent to transmission node B1, or if the user terminal is located in county C2, the transmission request is sent to transmission node C2. It can here be decided according to XX to which node a transmission request is sent. If the transmission request is sent to the city level transmission node B1, after receiving the transmission request, the B1 may determine whether the audio/video of the P22 requested by the transmission request in the time period t1-t2 is stored in the B1, and according to the determination result, there may be the following three processing manners:
1) if the B1 stores the audio and video of P22 at t1-t2, the audio and video is sent to a user terminal sending a transmission request, if B1 does not store the audio and video of P22 at t1-t2, whether transmission nodes A1 and C2 on a transmission path corresponding to B1 store the audio and video of P22 at t1-t2 is determined, if at least one of A1 and C2 stores the audio and video of P22 at t1-t2, the audio and video information is obtained from the transmission node A1 or C2 storing the audio and video of P22 at t1-t2, and is sent to the user terminal sending the transmission request, and if the transmission nodes on the transmission path do not have the audio and video of P22 at t1-t2, the B1 can directly obtain the requested video from P22. If the audio and video data of t1-t2 are not stored on the P22, information requesting the absence of video is sent to the user terminal sending the transmission request.
2) If the B1 stores the audios and videos of the P22 at t1-t2, the audio and video data is sent to the user terminal sending the transmission request, and if the B1 does not store the audios and videos of the P22 at t1-t2 but stores a part of the audios and videos, for example, the audios and videos of the P22 at t3-t4(t1< t2< t3< t4) time period, the B1 may determine whether the audios and videos of other time periods (for example, t1-t2, t3-t4) are stored on the C2 or the a 1. When it is determined that videos in other time periods are stored in the C2 or the A1, obtaining videos in the corresponding time periods from the C2 or the A1, and then sending the videos in the whole time period from t1 to t2 to the user terminal sending the transmission request; upon determining that the C2 or a1 does not store the video of the remaining period or stores the partial video of the remaining period, the B1 acquires the video of the remaining period directly from the P22. If the audio and video data of t1-t2 are not stored on the P22, information requesting the absence of video is sent to the user terminal sending the transmission request.
3) If the B1 stores the audio and video of the P22 at t1-t2, the audio and video are sent to the user terminal sending the transmission request, and if the B1 does not store the audio and video of the P22 at t1-t2, the requested video is directly obtained from the P22. If the audio and video data of t1-t2 are not stored on the P22, information requesting the absence of video is sent to the user terminal sending the transmission request.
A multimedia live implementation of the multimedia transmission system 100 is described below, according to some embodiments of the present application.
For an audio/video live broadcast request of a user, for example, a certain user requests, through a user terminal, an audio/video shot by a certain initial acquisition device (such as P22) in the live broadcast multimedia transmission system 100, the audio/video live broadcast request may include a device identifier of the requested initial acquisition device P22 and a transmission path corresponding to P22, for example, the audio/video live broadcast request may include an identifier of P22 and identifiers of transmission nodes a1, B1, and C2 in the transmission path corresponding to the initial acquisition device P22. Or the video information may include names of administrative areas corresponding to the transmission nodes, for example, the video information may include: IPC/NVR P22, prefecture C2, City B2, province A1. It can be understood that the video request may not include the transmission path information, but only include the information of the initial acquisition device, and each transmission node stores the transmission path corresponding to each initial acquisition device, and after receiving the transmission request, the transmission node determines the corresponding transmission path according to the stored information.
After receiving the live broadcast request of the user terminal, the live broadcast request is sent to the transmission node of the administrative region. For example, if the user terminal is located in province a1, the live request will be sent to transfer node a1, or if the user terminal is city B1, the live request will be sent to transfer node B1, or if the user terminal is county level C2, the live request will be sent to transfer node C2. Here it can be decided from XX to which node the live request is sent. If a live broadcast request is sent to the city level transmission node a1, the audio and video requested to be live broadcast can be sent to the user terminal in the following two ways:
1) the A1 acquires the audio and video collected by the P22 in real time through the C2 and the B1 in turn, and then the audio and video is forwarded to the user terminal sending the live broadcast request through the A1. At this time, the transmission node may be an http server. P22 may be a webcam. It is to be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the transmitting node is not limited to using an http server.
2) The A1 sequentially obtains the audios and videos collected by the P22 through the C2 and the B1, and each or one of the C2, the B1 and the A1 can be set to store the received audios and videos with preset size or preset time interval for a preset time period and then forward the stored audios and videos. For example, the a1 is set to store the received audio and video with the size of every 5M (or every 10 seconds) for 5 seconds and then send the stored audio and video to the user terminal, or the C2, B1 and a1 are set to store the received audio and video with the size of every 5M (or every 10 seconds) for 5 seconds and then forward the stored audio and video. In this way, the user can see a playback of 5M (or every 10 seconds) audiovisual while watching the live broadcast. At this time, the transmission node may be a streaming server. It is to be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the transmission node is not limited to using a streaming server.
As can be seen from the above description, in the multimedia transmission system 100 of the present application, when the multimedia information on each initial acquisition device is requested or broadcast, the multimedia information needs to pass through the transmission node on the transmission path corresponding to each initial acquisition device, and does not need to directly establish a connection with the initial acquisition device, so that the transmission pressure of the initial acquisition device is greatly reduced, and when the access amount of the initial acquisition device is high, the problem that the transmission connection cannot be established can be effectively solved, and the stability of multimedia information transmission is improved. For example, for the national standard GB/T28181, direct communication transmission between the upper layer and the lower domain (i.e., the initial acquisition device) is shielded, the problem of high concurrent deadlock/no response of the lower domain and unreliable transmission of UDP (User datagram protocol) across network segments or public networks is solved, and robustness and stability of interaction between the upper and lower domains are improved.
In addition, it is understood that the multimedia information in the present application may be any multimedia information, for example, the multimedia information may be audio and video information, or may be separate video information, separate audio information, or separate image information, which is not limited herein. The multimedia transmission system 100 described above is also not limited to use in the field of video surveillance. The transmission node is not necessarily associated with the administrative domain, but may be provided purely to reduce the transmission connection pressure of the initial acquisition device.
Based on the above description, the main workflow of each transmission node in the multimedia transmission system 100 when receiving a transmission request on demand is described in detail below.
According to some embodiments of the present application, in combination with the above description of the multimedia transmission system 100, specific details are still applicable in the following processes, and are not repeated herein for avoiding repetition, and the on-demand work flow of each transmission node in the system is shown in fig. 2, and specifically includes:

3) Under the condition that the audio and video requested by the transmission request is determined to be stored in the transmission node B1, sending the acquired audio and video to a user terminal sending the transmission request (210); in the case where it is determined that the audio/video requested by the transmission request is not stored on the transmission node B1, it is determined whether the requested audio/video is stored on other transmission nodes (e.g., a1 and C2) on the corresponding transmission path (204).
4) Under the condition that other transmission nodes (such as A1 or C2) on a corresponding transmission path are determined to store the audios and videos in a time period t1-t2 on P22, the requested audios and videos are obtained from the transmission nodes storing the audios and videos (206), and the obtained audios and videos are sent to a user terminal sending a transmission request (210); under the condition that other transmission nodes (such as A1 or C2) on the corresponding transmission path are determined not to store the audios and videos in the time period t1-t2 on the P22, the requested audios and videos are directly acquired from the P22 (208), and the acquired audios and videos are sent to the user terminal sending the transmission request (210).
According to some other embodiments of the present application, in combination with the above description of the multimedia transmission system 100, specific details are still applicable in the following processes, and are not repeated herein for avoiding repetition, and a working process of requesting by each transmission node in the system is shown in fig. 3, and specifically includes:
1) a transmitting node (e.g., B1) receives a transmission request (300) sent by a user terminal. For example, the transmission request requests initial acquisition of audio and video in a time period t1-t2 on the device P22.
2) The transmitting node B1 determines whether the audio/video requested by the transmission request is stored on the transmitting node B1, such as audio/video for a time period t1-t2 on P22 (302).
3) Under the condition that the audio and video requested by the transmission request is determined to be stored in the transmission node B1, sending the acquired audio and video (312) to a user terminal sending the transmission request; in the event that it is determined that the requested audio video of the transfer request is not stored on transfer node B1, it is determined whether a portion of the requested audio video is stored on transfer node B1 (304), e.g., audio video within a time period t3-t4(t1< t2< t3< t4) over P22.
4) In the event that it is determined that a portion of the requested audio video is stored on transfer node B1, determining whether other transfer nodes (e.g., a1 and C2) on the transfer path store the remaining portion of the requested audio video (e.g., other time periods t1-t2, t3-t4) (306); if the other transmission nodes store the rest part of the requested audio and video, the rest part of the requested audio and video is obtained from the other transmission nodes (310), and if the other transmission nodes do not store the rest part of the requested audio and video, the requested audio and video is directly obtained from the P22 (308).
5) Sending the acquired audio and video to the user terminal sending the transmission request (312)
According to some other embodiments of the present application, in combination with the above description of the multimedia transmission system 100, specific details are still applicable in the following processes, and are not repeated herein for avoiding repetition, and the on-demand work flow of each transmission node in the system is shown in fig. 4, and specifically includes:
